Schools announce delays, closings ahead of bitter cold Monday morning
I’M ASHLEY OATES AND THAT’S PITTSBURGH’S ACTION SPORTS ROLLING THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. WE GET ANOTHER IMPACT DAY AS OUR MORNING HAS BEEN OFF TO A FRIGID START. STILL EYEING WIND CHILLS THAT ARE SUBZERO IN MOST NEIGHBORHOODS FEELS LIKE SIX DEGREES BELOW ZERO RIGHT NOW IN PITTSBURGH. SIMILAR COMPANY FOR THOSE OF YOU IN INDIANA, NINE BELOW RIGHT NOW FOR WAYNESBORO FEELS LIKE 11 DEGREES BELOW ZERO IN GREENSBURG. COLDEST OF THE BUNCH, AT LEAST AT THE MOMENT. AT LEAST WE HAVE SUNSHINE GOING FOR US. WE’LL CARRY THAT INTO THE AFTERNOON, BUT STILL A BITTERLY COLD AFTERNOON. AS WE WRAP UP THE WEEKEND, HEAD INTO THE START OF THE NEW WEEK. TEMPERATURES EVENTUALLY WILL THAW OUT. I’LL SHOW YOU. WE FINALLY CRACK THE FREEZING MARK IN JUST A MOMENT, BUT WE’VE GOT TO GET THROUGH TODAY. STILL BATTLING THOSE WIND CHILLS THAT WILL BE SUBZERO TO EVEN THE LOWER SINGLE DIGITS ALL DAY LONG. EVENTUALLY IT CAN FEEL LIKE SIX DEGREES ACROSS ALLEGHENY COUNTY. LATER ON TONIGHT, AIR TEMPERATURES FALL JUST BELOW ZERO, AND ALL WE NEED IS A LIGHT BREEZE TO REALLY PULL THOSE FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES DOWN WELL BELOW ZERO. SO AGAIN, ANOTHER FRIGID START TO THE DAY TOMORROW. BUT BY THE AFTERNOON IT’S GOING TO FEEL DOWNRIGHT BALMY AS OUR FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES WILL TREND INTO THE 20S AS WE KICK OFF A BRAND NEW WORK AND SCHOOL WEEK. TO YOUR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE FORECAST THOSE COLD WEATHER ALERTS SET TO EXPIRE HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MINUTES, BUT STILL FEELING AROUND ZERO INTO THE AFTERNOON. WE’RE MOSTLY SUNNY. MORE SUNSHINE TO START YOUR MONDAY 28 BY THE AFTERNOON. IT’S TUESDAY, THE DAY THAT WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR. FINALLY CROSSING ABOVE FREEZING, IN FACT, WELL ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK WILL LAND IN THE LOWER 40S. REST OF THE WEEK WILL FEATURE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 30S, SO NOT TOO SHABBY, ESPECIALLY GIVEN WHERE WE’VE BEEN. NICE TO SEE LOTS OF BLUE SKY OVER THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH, BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO DO MUCH TO WARM US UP AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE DAY. A FEW CLOUDS TRYING TO EASE IN FROM THE NORTHEAST AS WE GO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, BUT WE’RE NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING IN TERMS OF ANY ACTIVE WEATHER OR ANY SNOW FOR US TODAY. THOSE CLOUDS WILL MIX OUT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME TONIGHT WITH THOSE WIDE OPEN CONDITIONS. TEMPERATURES DROP AS WE LOOK TOWARDS DAYBREAK TOMORROW AGAIN, STARTING SUBZERO IN SOME SPOTS, CLOUDS WILL BE FILTERING IN AS WE WORK THROUGH THE DAY. STILL QUIET. BUT THEN THERE’S A SYSTEM THAT PASSES JUST TO OUR SOUTH ON TUESDAY, GET OUR WARMEST DAY THAT WE’VE SEEN SINCE JANUARY 22ND, AND THAT COULD PRODUCE A FEW STRAY SPRINKLES, EVEN SOME FLURRIES, AS WE GO THROUGH THE LATE NIGHT HOURS. LET’S TALK ABOUT TUESDAY’S TEMPERATURE AGAIN, A HIGH OF 42 FOR PITTSBURGH. MOST OF US UPPER 30S TO AROUND 40 DEGREES, WILL BE THE FIRST TIME ABOVE FREEZING SINCE JANUARY 22ND, AS THIS WILL BE ONE OF OUR LONGEST STRETCHES BELOW FREEZING FOR PITTSBURGH AS WE GO THROUGH THE EVENING, OVERNIGHT HOURS, EVEN PARTS OF WEDNESDAY, ANY LINGERING MOISTURE WITH THOSE CLOUDY SKIES COULD PRODUCE A FEW SPRINKLES OR FLURRIES. NOT GOING TO ANTICIPATE ANY ACCUMULATION. THE COVERAGE IS GOING TO BE FAIRLY ISOLATED FOR US. WE WILL START TO MELT DOWN SOME OF THE ICE AND SNOW, AS WE’LL SEE HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW TO MID 30S. LOWS, MEANWHILE, ARE GOING TO BE IN THE TEENS FOR US TEENS AND 20S TH
